iOS

Jailbreak

Cydia

It appears that GeoHot has posted a new blog entry today, detailing some keys needed to decrypt ipsw files (firmware files) which will ultimately lead to some new custom "jailbroken" firmwares for the iPad, just like it's siblings.

Custom Firmwares are one of the best parts of the Jailbreak world, so this is rather exciting news. Although it may seem a little dull, and to anyone that isn't developing or hacking, it's probably of no real meaning to you, but the idea itself will lead to greater things to come to the iPad very soon, and that my friends, we should all be excited about.

We've seen Cydia on the iPad already in a few videos now, which was a clear sign of thing to come, but now that devs can decrypt the firmware packages, this is closer to being put into action much sooner than any of us had originalyl anticipated.
